Subject: Question about auto ban or banning in general

24 and female.

This happened yesterday on a Halo PC 1 server. I was having fun in a great CTF game, when someone joined that wasn't such a fun player. This person was on my team, and they were acting like some lunatic. They were shooting teammates, throwing nades at the vehicles we were trying to get into, and kept killing themselves. At one point, they kept coming after me, not sure why, but they did. It was easy for us to betray that player even when we weren't trying to, but hard for them to betray us for some reason. Finally I was banned for no reason at all, I was just trying to play the game. So my first question is, how many betrays does it usually take to be auto banned? but the funny thing is I hardly ever betrayed this player (maybe once or twice by accident since they would run in front of my vehicle when I was driving), and other teammates did more than I did and never were banned. Also, the server operator was AFK at the time, actually the WHOLE time.

Anyway, I made a new profile and got back into the game. Everything was fine, I was having a good time again, and than that same player switched teams to be on my team again. They started going crazy again, but I was trying to ignore them the best I could. Right before I was banned again, that player backed me into a corner and kept shooting me, and I couldn't move or jump away, they had me stuck really good in that corner. And that's when I was banned, and it said the server operator banned me, does it say that even if it could be auto ban? auto ban for what though? who knows. Also, can someone that doesn't run the server ban people? I think that's an odd question, but the real operator was AFK, that I know for sure. And I have this funny feeling that this person was the one doing the banning.

It was just really annoying, and I usually don't care about teammates shooting other teammates, because hey, if that's what they want to do, go for it. But I can't stand someone targeting me for no reason, I'm just trying to have fun. Now I'm totally banned from the server on any profile I use, which really isn't fair to me.

Well, thanks for the help to anyone that answers.

My own website and clan
http://www.xgclan.com

it could be an autoban.

autoban normally settings: 3 tk's is ban.
however at dedicated servers you have to set it yourself most servers have between 3-5.

also if you kill people in 3 sec or less, lets say i throw grenades and i got 6 team kills within the 3 sec i only get the points for 1 team kill(in case of a accident)

for the rest if the server operator does that...
just search another server.

also you might get unban if that also has been set in the configuration file of the server.

for more info search a halo ded server setup guide(there is one on this forum to the right>>)
its the locked thread
btw: they don't tell anything about banning...
but on halomaps.org there is a good tut so i suggest to search there.

Thank you!

The problem seems to be fixed now. I had a friend go into that server and talk to the operator about the issue and she unbanned me.

But thanks again. =]

It's easy for someone who knows the game mechanics well enough to abuse the autoban to get somebody that didn't really do anything wrong banned.

Yeah, I realize that. Same thing almost happened today again, but I just completely let them keep shooting me, and finally I left the server until they left. Same server too. Go figure! =P

Sounds like you need to pick a different server :)
